The world around us will always be an ever-changing landscape beyond our control. What we can control, however, is our supply chain strategy and how we maneuver ourselves through a sea of adversity and challenges.

What helps with that are a few things such as a unified supply chain that provides end-to-end visibility, tracking products both in motion and at rest. With this visibility comes proactivity to foresee disruptions, make quick adjustments, and maintain smooth operations.

In this episode, hosts Scott W. Luton and Marcia Williams sit down with Rob Schaefer and Bryant Smith from Manhattan to dive deep into the future of supply chain technology. Discover how a unified supply chain can provide agility, speed, and increased revenues, allowing your company to react swiftly to market changes.
